Ordered a Staton Friction

I have the RS035 engine and love it, but where can I buy a larger tank for it? Does Dave Staton sell them? Any info on where I can purchase a larger tank would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

what if.... I wanna put my Staton on a tandem? Would I need a longer throttle cable?

"I will mount my Staton on my dog if I can get him to hold still long enuf!" (Just kidding PETA!)

Yes Donald - longer cable required. On one of the threads here - read about someone renting a friction drive MB while on vacation - said that it was VERY COOL... Ride That Thing - Mountainman
 
I use the medium size (22 oz) MSR fuel bottle. It fits right into a water bottle holder. There's a non-spill replacement cap, called the UCO Fuel Faucet - the tip of the replacement cap fits inside your fuel tank & you pour away. There's even a little siphon hole on the back side of the fill neck; you cover it with your finger, and the fuel doesn't flow. Which makes it handy when lowering the fill tip into the tank & pulling it back again (if there's any fuel left.) I still carry the spare tank with me for emergencies, but since adding the 96 oz tank from Staton, I really don't need to use it, but, I still do. Habbit, I guess. Every couple of fillups, I fill from the bottle, & refill it with fresh go-juice.

Auxiliary Fuel Tank Plumbing: I threw together a sketch of the plumbing to set up the fuel lines so your main tank empties first. That way, you can use the standard tank as the emergency reserve. When you get the main tank emptied, you have about 30-50 miles or so, 'till you're peddling.
